St James, Jamaica: Residents of Catherine Hall in Montego Bay, St. James, took to the streets on Tuesday morning, blocking a section of roadway near MegaMart over flooding that they say has worsened since ongoing road expansion works began.
The roadblocks disrupted traffic in the area before police moved in and cleared the barriers.
Residents blame the recent flooding, which left several homes inundated after two days of heavy rainfall, on the ongoing works along the Catherine Hall main road.
One resident claimed that a drain previously used to channel floodwaters away from the community was sealed during the roadworks.
